A raging battle between Sanity and the Evil Within.



Stalking. Lurking. Creeping. Hiding.

The evil within is awake

Crumbling. Fading. Melting. Vanishing.

How long 'till the chains start to break?



"Keep it in! Keep it in!" Sanity says,

As the evil within starts to shiver

"Contain it! Control it!" Sanity says,

As the evil within breaks away



"Leave me unchained!" says the evil within

As the shackles continue to shudder,

"Release me before your nightmares begin,

And tear your heaven asunder!"



SNAP! The chains of the evil is severed

The bane is running free.

Sin. Malice. Madness uncovered

The evil the world wished to see.



The whole world wept pure blood to know

That Sanity kept him on hold

For there is nothing else more sinister and cold

Than the evil within controlled...
